Dear all, any idea if u need pre_book online first for TR visa extension @bangkok HQ division 1?  This would be my first time after my 60Day TR, may I ask directly a 60 day covid ext. In my TM 7 form,  And let the imigtation officer to decide? Or I have to apply and stare in TM 7, a 30Day ext first? And only, despite the reason remains the same... Covid.? And TM 30 provided by my residence hotel need cover 60 days as well? Many thanks!!!

TLDR : Answer Summary

When applying for a TR visa extension at Bangkok HQ division 1, you do not need to pre-book online, though it may expedite the process. You must first obtain a standard 30-day extension before you can request a COVID extension directly on the TM 7 form. The TM 30 form provided by your residence hotel should also cover the full 60 days.

it doesn't matter what you request, first you get the normal 30 day extension.

The only thing a TM30 shows is where you are staying and when you started staying there. That is all it shows. It does not show how long you are going to stay anywhere.

You don't have to book an appointment, but it might be faster.

You are required by law to take the 30 day extension before you can apply for the Covid extension.
